There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The JPEG ...

Optimizing data compression methods has become more critical than ever for cloud storage, data management, and streaming applications. Working with compressed data reduces network bandwidth, data ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...

Alireza Doostan is leading a major effort for real-time data compression for supercomputer research. A professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the ...
